AdBlock for Firefox by AdBlock
Review by Joe
Rated 3 out of 5
by Joe, 4 years agoUsually AdBlock works great. Have used it for many years across many browsers. Made a small donation to support development. But recently I noticed my laptop performance dropping. Opened Task Manager and seen that Firefox was using almost 3GB of RAM! Restarted Firefox in safe mode and problem subsided. Tested turning on each installed add-on in turn, and sure enough the problem lay with AdBlock. Now I do also have DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials installed too, but the issue was replicated even when DuckDuckGo was disabled. So unfortunately I have to uninstall for now, but I'll be back once the issue hopefully gets sorted.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18897633, 2 days agofrequently pops up a new tab about upgrading to premium. and i've seen the pathetic responses from addblock's representatives...sure we can just click the x button like you said, but that's defeating the whole purpose of your existence! so stop telling users to close out of an unwanted tab that you created and stop asking people for money!

- Rated 1 out of 5by RH, 9 days agoDeactivates itself, or pauses itself, trying to watch videos on Youtube. Also, this extension has had more issues blocking ads on other websites than other extensions I have used. I will try it again another time, hopefully they fix the extension by then.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18948543, a month agoYet another extension mooching off of ABP's revenue stream. These by definition, regardless of how much actual blocking they are doing, are just another method big corp uses to circumvent the real thing. Don't be fooled.
